Multiple materials with tailored properties are integrated into structures via a large spectrum of joining techniques. Welding is a viable solution in mass scale production in an automotive sector still dominated by steels, although hybrid structures involving other materials like aluminum are becoming increasingly important. The welding of dissimilar metals is difficult if not impossible, due to their differential thermo mechanical properties along with the formation of intermetallic compounds, particularly when fusion welding is envisioned. Solid-state welding, as with magnetic pulse welding, is of particular interest due to its short processing cycles. However, electromagnetic pulse welding is constrained by the selection of processing parameters, particularly the coil design and its life cycle. This paper investigates two inductor designs, a linear (I) and O shape, for the joining of sheet metals involving aluminum and steels. The O shape inductor is found to be more efficient both with magnetic pulse (MPW) and magnetic pulse spot welding (MPSW) and offers a better life cycle. Both simulation and experimental mechanical tests are presented to support the effect of inductor design on the process performance. Keywords: magnetic pulse welding; spot welds; linear coils; shear lap test; automotive alloys; numerical analysis; LS-DYNA 1. Introduction The emissions targets set by various climate summits, which started in the 1970s, as well as the increase in oil prices since then, has made the automotive OEMs focus their efforts on optimizing vehicle emissions and keeping fuel consumption at a minimum to meet both the environmental and end customers’ economic concerns. These efforts were translated by extensively optimizing the combustion engines, introducing the hybrid concept, and introducing, during the 1990s, the first commercial electric vehicles. The common helping factor for all the versions proposed was reducing the weight of the structural and non-structural components by using a combination of materials. The metal percentage of the materials used in the production of a typical passenger vehicle, even by the year 2025, is expected to maintain a big part of the share: 60% steel (combination of low-carbon, mild-, and high-strength steels), 18% for aluminum, and 5% magnesium [1]. Consequently, the use of these materials implies the need to deal with the challenges related to dissimilar metal joining by overcoming the constraints stemming from unmatching properties (mechanical, thermal, and chemical) and by ensuring manufacturing conditions (limit the damage on joining partners, reliable and cost-efficient processes, and recyclability). J. Manuf. Mater. Process. 2020, 4, 69; doi:10.3390/jmmp4030069 www.mdpi.com/journal/jmmp J. Manuf. Mater. Process. 2020, 4, 69 2 of 20 The traditional joining technologies which are well established in the industry are the mechanical and thermal techniques. The former includes processes such as screwing, riveting, punch riveting and clinching. The main disadvantages of these processes are the additional steps required in the production cycle, stress concentrations at the points of fastening, and weight increase inherent to the fasteners themselves [2,3]. For fusion welding technologies that implicitly involve a heat source with or without a filler addition, the main concern is microstructural changes, residual stresses and defects during the solidification of the molten zone between the adjoining components. For instance, weld fusion zones are not always exempt from porosity, solidification cracks and oriented structures with grain orientations that induce unpredictable variability in the welded components [4,5]. When a filler is additionally used to mitigate weld metal chemistry, the weight increase is inherent, as in mechanical joints. In automotive applications of fusion welding, resistance spot welding has been in practice for a very long time and, for the last two decades, remote laser spot welding is increasingly preferred due to the processing speed [6,7]. Further lightweight automotive body structures imply hybrid materials as diverse as aluminum and steels and need fast joining technologies to keep pace with the large-scale automotive sector [8]. The fusion welding of such dissimilar materials is more complex due to the formation of intermetallic compounds in the weld zone and the presence of differential thermal effects stemming from different physical properties, like the thermal expansion coefficient and melting points. This leads to the unacceptable weakening of the welded components. In the case of aluminum to steel thermal joining application, two important limitations need to be mentioned: the formation of brittle, aluminum, rich-intermetallic compounds (Fe2Al5, FeAl3) and the negligible solid solubility of Fe in Al [9]. For a viable dissimilar joint, one possible way of doing this is to reduce, as much as possible, the size of the intermetallic phases. For this to happen, amongst other alternatives to minimize the formation of brittle compounds, some prospective studies involve laser roll bonding through brazing [10] and mixing, as in friction spot welding [11], but with limited success in large-scale applications. To overcome the mechanical and thermal limitations, the studies of high-velocity impact processes which create a direct joining between metals at solid-state and at microscopic level presented an opportunity. These studies started first in the 1950s with the explosive welding (EXW) [12], and continued with magnetic pulse welding (MPW), laser impact welding (LIW) [13], and vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) [14]. The cold and rapid natures of these processes—some microseconds—limit the risk of HAZ and intermetallic compounds’ formation, respectively [15]. The principle of the high-velocity impact processes is based on accelerating one metal, called a flyer, at very high velocities, towards another fixed metal, called parent, where the local progressive collision creates the bond between the two materials. The difference lies in the accelerator types: in EXW, for example, the detonators are used, while in MPW, electromagnetic driving forces are used [2–5]. For safety and ergonomic reasons of massive industrial applications, the MPW process presents itself as a more appropriate candidate, as it uses the electromagnetic fields as a source. The driving force generation is based on the Laplace force principle: the presence of a current-carrying conductive metal in a time-varying magnetic field generates Laplace forces on this metal. Therefore, and to achieve large amounts of Laplace forces, the MPW processes use: A high pulse generator capable of generating an intense, time-varying current that will be the • source of the time-varying magnetic field; A coil capable of producing the magnetic field due to the discharged current delivered by • the generator; A conductive metal in the vicinity of the coil in which the magnetic field penetrates and induces • currents, leading to the generation of large amounts of Laplace forces, causing its acceleration. MPW for a tubular geometry was the most used and developed in the MPW field [16,17]. Starting in the year 2000, more focus was given to the sheet metal applications where the operational positioning J. Manuf. Mater. Process. 2020, 4, x FOR PEER REVIEW 3 of 21 J. Manuf. Mater.

Since no external heat sources are used during the magnetic pulse welding process, it offers important advantages for the joining of dissimilar material combinations. Although magnetic pulse welding has emerged as a novel technique to join metallic tubes, the dimensional consistency of the joint assembly due to the strong impact of the flyer tube onto the target tube and the resulting plastic deformation is a major concern. Often, an internal support inside the target tube is considered as a solution to improve the stiffness of the joint assembly. A detailed investigation of magnetic pulse welding of Cu-DHP flyer tubes and 11SMnPb30 steel target tubes is performed, with and without an internal support inside the target tubes, and using a range of experimental conditions. The influence of the key process conditions on the evolution of the joint between the tubes with progress in time has been determined using experimental investigations and numerical modelling. As the process is extremely fast, real-time monitoring of the process conditions and evolution of important responses such as impact velocity and angle, and collision velocity, which determine the formation of a metallic bond, is impossible.

Welding is one of the most widely used metal fabrication methods in world wide. Welding is safe operation when carried out under normal and correct workshop conditions, but it must be pointed out that equipment free from defects and well arranged, properly ventilated , tidy workplace are important factors for safe working. Even though, welding is carried out widely across the world, when certain basic measures and precautions are not followed, it results in injuries, discomfort, loss of eye sight after a longer period, or sometimes even leading to death of the people work there.

The mechanical properties and microstructure of MPJ joints were tested and observed. The results show that the metallurgical joints can be obtained at a voltage of 15 kV, a radial gap of 1.2−1.4 mm, and a slope angle of 3°−7° in the lapping area. The joint comprises a transition zone with different widths, two matrix metals and two interfaces between the zone and the two metals. The interface presents a typical wavy pattern and mutual diffusion of Fe and Al elements happens in the zone. The transition zone is composed of Fe−Al intermetallics, micro cracks and micro pores. The microhardness of the transition zone is much higher than that of the matrix metals. Key words: magnetic pulse joining; dissimilar metals; metallurgical joint; field shaper; aluminum; steel mechanical properties of the joint [6]. 1 Introduction To solve these problems, the third metal element is conventionally proposed to add during the diffusion Magnetic pulse joining (MPJ), or named magnetic joining process.
